The political contest is now on bl earn est for all thc o ft I ces in the gift, of tho pooplo from President to Coroner, and from now until November the political pot will continue to boil. In ?South Carolina the contest promises to bo a wann one, and whiskey will bc tho main issue, lt is to bo regretted that tho question of whiskey should over shadow every other political issue, but in this Stale tho attitude of thc Stale Oovornment for tito last ton yours makes lt absolutely necessary, since the dis dispensary has been established more scandals have developed in tho State than in any twenty years proviens. M. ll. Mcsweeney, P. lb Cary and A. H. Patterson have entered tho .?ice for (tovornor, espousing the dispensary, and Col. Janies A. Hoyt, of Oreonvillc, an ox-Confcdornto soldier, and a man of clean record ami pure character, espous ing prohibition. The light promises to tie a close and interesting one. Col. Hoyt's strict integrity and pure political methods will draw to him many voles, and well does bc deserve to be honored. If ho is not the next Governor of the Slate it will not bc because the people lack confidence in his Integrity, hut be cause of his opposition to whiskey. The candidates for the various Stale olticcs arc too numerous lo mention, but those who stain! foi these o flic es are good mon and true.

The most satisfactory progress is ho ing made willi the preliminary work for tho South Carolina Inter State and West Indian Kxpositi tl, to be held in Charles ton Deeombor 1st, 1001, to May 1st, 1002. More than $117,(MH) has already been raised in Charleston for tho project and tho oxooittivo committee is now extend ing its iulbtonco and usefulness by ap pointing members in tho various counties of the State to serve with them, and thus make it truly, as it should ho, a State enterprise. Tho question has been asked, "Why should tho people of tho Stato be particularly interested ?" and this can ho answered in a dozen ways. The history of e xpositions tn this and foreign countries has been that not only was tho city where tl o big show had been held benefited, but tho entire sur rounding country has almost immediately shown signs of improvement. The Ex position, with only the products of Charleston shown, would not be of Special service to South Carolina, but oven a Charleston affair should bo patronized and approved by tho pooplo of tho Slate. This Exposition, however, is intended and will show to the world tho wealth and resources of this splendid State of South Carolina. Tho textile palace, which will be the "main building," and which will show a "cotton seed and tho result from it," will interest thousands of men who are looking for investment and looking for homes. They will not wish to settle in Charleston to plant cot ton or to build cotton mills there. The man who is interested in the splendid forestry exhibit will hardly expect to make a home in Charleston and fell trolly polos. Tho mining engineer and pros pector will (Ind little interest bl assaying belgian blocks in tho streets of Charles ton, and thc tobacco grower from Con necticut who sees tho lino opportunity for transferring his work to a moro fer tile soil, where tho winter is not tune months long and every condition favora ble for the raising of the golden leaf, will not lind arable lands in the shadow of St. Michael's church. These men, and hundreds of others, will see and approve the products of soil, of mino and forests, ami seek their origin. This is no selfish projoet organized by Charleston for its aggrandizement and profit alone, but a broad, generous plan to put South Caro lina before the world in 1KM- best array and say, "look oil this picture, is it not foil'?" Cnn you elsewhere find a liner olininto, a moro productivo soil, braver forests or bolder streams ? There aro homes here for those who will come, and a welcome for all who would help in making this thc greatest, as it is Hu; proudest, State in thc Union.

GERMAN KALI WORKS, ?? 03 Na??au St., New York. BOERS TO LOCATE IN SOUTH. Railroads aro Working for tho Location of Transvaalers. N KW YORK, May 2<(.-Tho Kvoiitujg Post says to-day; "A movement is now on foot under Hie supervision of several of the largo railroads of tito South to in duce Hie Hoers to settle in certain sec tions of the South. The general preva lence of tho belief that tho war in tho Transvaal can last but a little while loilgor bas given an impetus to the pro ject to encourage Hie settlement in some of tho Southern States of those of the Boors who will not submit lo reconstruc tion under English Dominion, ll. is re ported in railroad circles thal, duliilito plans are I,(dug shaped to further the possible exodus of Hoers to this country." The ancients believed that rheumatism was the work of a demon within a man. Any one who bas had an attack of sciatic or inflammatory rheumatism will agree that the infliction is demoniac enough to warrant the belief, lt. has never been claimed that Chamberlain's I'ai II Halie would east out demons', but it will cure rheumatism, and hundreds bear testi mony lo the truth of this statement. One application relieves the pain, and this quick relief which it alfords is alone worth many times its cost. For sale by J. W. Hell, Walhalla; W. J. Lunney, Seneca;. II. H. Zimmerman, Westmin ster.
